Default Must...wash....car...

...but it's too damn cold! I put my car up for the winter, but I haven't had a chance to give it a good wash it and it's diiiirtty! I keep wracking (is that how it's spelled) my brain trying to think of an indoor, heated place to wash my car, but nothing's coming to mind. I did work at West County BMW when I was in high school. I wonder if they'd let me use one of their wash bays to clean up my car... Anyway, does any one have any ideas for me? I can't stand seeing my car this way.

Thanks!

Barrett... Yesterday was an ideal day to wsh the car with a high of 53 outside It is tough washing your car when it is cold. A recommendation if you opt not to wash yourself is take the car to a Honda dealership for an oil change, most will wash and dry the can for you as long as a service was performed.

You could pick up some Chemical Guys "Hose Free Wash" - Stuff actually works and is keeping the CLS black. You can do it all in the confines of a heated garage as long as it has a drain.

I don't remember it being anywhere near 53 degrees anytime recently. Actually, i don't remember a day over freezing, especially not in the past week or so.

I think i'll opt not to take my car to the dealership to have a porter wash my car (having been a porter myself during my highschool days). I'll definitely check into the hose-free car wash, although i can't imagine it getting all the grime that's on the car now off.

Thanks for the ideas!

Believe me, the stuff works. Make sure you have 2 buckets- one for soap and one for rinse. Go to the buckets often and make sure you're clean before you wipe dry. The soap water comes right off and is removed just the same as you wipe away quick-detailer.
